The Stein way
If you consider quality and permanency of tone,
superior materials and workmanship and proven dur
ability, then the recorded judgment of the world's
most eminent musical and scientific experts declares
THE STEIN WAY THE STANDARD OF THE
WORLD.
If it is a question of price, then, all things con
sidered, the Steinwayjs the greatest piano value for
the money paid, for experience has proven that a
Steinway" piano depreciates less, both in intrinsic and
market value, than any other make.
Sherman, Clay & Co. are the exclusive Stein way
representatives for the Pacific coast. -
The Piano Center of Portland
Our salesrooms may consistently be called ''"The Piano
Center of. Portland," not only because of the central location,
but because this'store is a focal point for critical buyers.
This business has been developed upon a belief in the com
mon sense of our public meaning by "our" public, those peo
ple who realize that it is good judgment and economy to pay
fair prices and getgood pianos.
Our business consists exclusively of selling Pianos, Player
Pianos, Organs and Victor Talking Machines at prices which
represent their actual retail value. We have no profits to add
to cover the expense involved in 'providing igift inducements to
purchasers.
Our profit is simply a fair, percentage on the cost of the
instrument. . .
' We sell on the one-price system, consequently the buyer
of any instrument in our stock knows that he is paying no more
for it than. anyone else would pay.
Our interest does not cease when the sale is made. We
consider the transaction closed only when we kno.w the instru
ment has proven its worth in the hands of its purchaser.
These statements briefly express the policy of Sherman,
Clay & Co., and we believe it is the only policy that pays.
Js it not to your interest to purchase from a house which
regards your good will as one of its assets?
THE satisfaction of the cus
tomer is the first purpose of
our business plan. For that
reason we aim to help every buyer
to choose the best piano suited to
his special needs.
Following is the list of makes
we sell, each the recognized stand
ard in its grade:
Steinway, Everett, A. B. Chase,
Conovcr, Ludwig, Packard, Estey,
Kurtzmann, Emerson, Kingsbury,
Cable, Wellington.

We have a number of good used
pianos taken in as part payment

ment we sell. ' , '

ment of this kind, it will certainly
pay you to investigate these. Easy
